11. Pooled Capacity
 A pooled capacity is used to model manufacturing resources that
will be shared by many work centers.
 For example, you have five production lines that each require an
operator to the entire duration that machine runs.
 However, you only have four operators in you resource pool.
Therefore, only four machines can run at any one time.

 The default work center
makes work center
maintenance easier and can
be defined per plant and work
center category.
 You can create a default work
center for each plant and work
center category.
 All screens are blank if no
default work center has been
created for the work center
category and plant.
